Seventy-two lichen specimens of Cetrelia collected in South Korea since 2003 were examined by both phenotypic and phylogenetic analyses. The phenotypic analysis was based on morphological and chemical characters, and the phylogenetic analysis was based on nrDNA ITS sequences. The result suggested that the presence and absence of isidia, soredia, lobules and medullar reaction C+ or C- are the im...

A phylogenetic study of the Opopanax and Crenosciadium was conducted to elucidate their circumscription infrageneric relationships. Sequence data from nrDNA ITS, cpDNA matK trnL-F were used determine relationship. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) amplifications all regions performed using universal primers. Maximum Likelihood (ML) trees constructed PAUP* software, another tree ITS sequences show...

During mycological explorations, a new smooth spored species, Inocybe subhimalayanensis Razzaq, Naseer & Khalid sp. nov. was collected from moist temperate sub-Himalayan region, Pakistan. Phylogeny of ITS and LSU regions nrDNA, morphoanatomical data make it distinct other known species the genus. The taxon is characterized by: yellowish orange to brown pileus with prominent fibrillose, umbo...

In efforts to record fungal biodiversity of Pakistan, specimens genus Bolbitius Fr., namely B. coprophilus (Peck) Hongo, collected from two different localities with arid semi-arid climate Punjab province, have been described and identified based on morphological ITS-nrDNA sequence data. The is not quite common in Pakistan since only one species has reported so far. current study, presented as ...

Abstract Section Anomali is a species-rich group in North America belonging to Cortinarius , the most diverse genus Agaricales. This study based on extensive morphological investigations and molecular methods using 191 nrDNA ITS sequence data recovered 43 phylogenetic species from which 14 are described here as new science. We sequenced ten type materials belonged eight species. The synonymy of...
